TCM Schedule for Thursday, April 4, 2013 -- What's On Tonight -- Wales Tales

[Staph]

So sorry to be late -- real life has intervened this week with a move to a new home, a lost wallet (and the need to cancel and replace credit cards), a slow leak in a rental car tire and a trip to Chicago.

Today TCM is celebrating the birth of Anthony Perkins (April 4, 1932) with a day of his films and then an evening of tales from the nation of Wales. I wish my hotel had TCM on their cable listing -- I would love to see How Green Was My Valley again. Enjoy!
